30 Whole30 Recipes for breakfast, lunch, and dinner to tempt your tastebuds and keep you satisfied!
Are you one of the millions who has or is currently following the Whole30 program?
I have many friends who do Whole30 throughout the year, and most of them have reported amazing results. They say they feel better, some have lost inches and pounds, and most importantly, following the Whole30 diet helped them change the way they looked at food.
It helped them learn to cook at home more, be more thoughtful about grocery shopping, and make smarter decisions when they ate out at restaurants.

🥗 What is Whole30?
The basic principle of Whole30 is to eat real, whole food for 30 days - no cheating or special occasions allowed. According to the program's rules, you should avoid:
- any added sugar, real or artificial
- grains (pasta, rice, quinoa, etc.)
- alcohol, even in cooking
- dairy, including butter
- legumes (although they say green beans, sugar snap peas, and snow peas are allowed)
- any processed food, homemade or store-bought, even if it contains only acceptable ingredients (i.e. store-bought cookies, waffles, pancakes, pizza crust, etc).
Not sure about a certain food? The Whole30 mantra is: when in doubt, leave it out.
If you're serious about Whole30, be sure to read the Whole30 rules on the official program website.
